AB  - We present construction and initial plasma experiments on a newly developed pulsed power generator at UC San Diego. The generator comprises 6 × 3.4uF capacitors in parallel which are individually switched into a simple radial feed and vacuum section. A charge voltage of 50kV means operation of the entire device can take place in air at atmospheric pressure, simplifying both construction and operation. 4-channel trigatron-style switches are triggered using a novel spiralswound transformer developed at Imperial College London. PSpice circuit models project peak currents of ∼750kA in a 1.2ms risetime, and comparisons to short circuit and load data will be presented.
